Manchester City are still finding the best way to play without Kevin De Bruyne, and Pep Guardiola seemed to settle on his best system last week vs Manchester United.
Erling Haaland took the plaudits as Manchester City dismantled Manchester United last weekend, and Bernardo Silva took the Man of the Match award.
United's spiral into full-blown crisis this week has been impressive even by their standards, and it has overshadowed a few aspects of City's brilliant performance. One of the unsung heroes from Old Trafford, however, has not really gathered many headlines: Rodri.ALSO READ: Julian Alvarez shuts down theory over his relationship with Man City teammate Erling Haaland
But seeing Rodri play a part in an eighth goal of the season in just 12 appearances is a growing trend that maybe needs some attention. It was Rodri who won a penalty when Rasmus Hojlund sloppily dragged him back in the area. Two of those assists have been him winning penalties - something is increasingly boosting a player's assist total with the FPL-ification of football. Rodri won't complain, he won the penalties, and City scored the goal that wouldn't have happened without him. His clipped assist for Cole Palmer in the Super Cup, layoff for Haaland at Young Boys, and cutback at Burnley are more conventional assists.
